% GarboriumDemo([ngabors=200] [, internalRotation=0]) -- An aquarium full of cute little gabors!
%
% This demo shows how to use the Screen('DrawTextures') command to draw a
% large number of similar images quickly - in this case, Gabor patches of
% different position, size and orientation. It also shows how to achieve
% fast, mathematically correct, linear superposition of image patches by
% use of alpha blending and the Psychtoolbox imaging pipeline. While you
% could always achieve proper superposition by precomputing large images in
% Matlab, then drawing them as textures, the use of alpha blending allows
% to offload the computations to your graphics hardware - this allows
% speedups by factors of more than 100x in some cases!
%
% The demo shows "an aquarium" of many cute little gabor patches, each moving
% into a random direction. Sometimes the gabors intersect, in that case
% you'll see a linear superposition of them.
%
% Each frame of the animation contains 'ngabors' patches, ngabors defaults
% to 200. Change the number as first optional parameter 'ngabors' if you want
% to exercise your graphics hardware and cpu.
%
% Normally the gabor paches rotate as a whole, a different method of
% rotation is so called internal texture rotation (see comments in code),
% which can be selected by setting the optional 2nd argument
% 'internalRotation' to a value of 1.
%
% You can exit the demo by pressing any key on the keyboard.
%
% This demo needs recent graphics hardware with floating point framebuffer
% support: ATI Radeon X1000 and later, NVidia GeForce 6000 and later.

% History:
% 07/08/2007 Written (MK).
% 05/18/2008 Rewritten, beautified, adapted to current PTB (MK).

% PTB-3 correctly installed and functional? Abort otherwise.

% precision framebuffer together with alpha-blending. We need alpha-blending
% here to implement the nice superposition of overlapping gabors. The demo will
% abort if your graphics hardware is not capable of any of this.

% moving gabors don't move out of the visible screen area:

% Query frame duration: We use it later on to time 'Flips' properly for an
% animation with constant framerate:
ifi = Screen('GetFlipInterval', win);

% Enable alpha-blending, set it to a blend equation useable for linear
% superposition with alpha-weighted source. This allows to linearly
% superimpose gabor patches in the mathematically correct manner, should
% they overlap. Alpha-weighted source means: The 'globalAlpha' parameter in
% the 'DrawTextures' can be used to modulate the intensity of each pixel of
% the drawn patch before it is superimposed to the framebuffer image, ie.,
% it allows to specify a global per-patch contrast value:
Screen('BlendFunction', win, GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE);

% Define prototypical gabor patch of 65 x 65 pixels default size: si is
% half the wanted size. Later on, the 'DrawTextures' command will simply
% scale this patch up and down to draw individual patches of the different
% wanted sizes. To avoid resampling artifacts, you should choose the size of
% the prototypical patch roughly the mean size of the wanted patch sizes, or
% alternatively the biggest size -- Downscaling with bilinear filtering is
% a graceful operation, it only needs to discard information in a
% artifact-free manner, but upscaling a too low resolution patch will
% create artifacts, as it can't create information about structure from
% nothing, just try to hide the most ugly artifacts:
si = 32;

% 'internalRotation' allows to rotate the gabor patches within the
% rectangular area of each drawn patch -- the texture is rotated
% "internally" to each destination patch rectangle. The default setting is
% to rotate the whole destination patch rectangle itself around its center.
% Whatever suits you best...

% Build drawable texture from gabor matrix: We set the 'floatprecision' flag to 2,
% so it is internally stored with 32 bits of floating point precision and
% sign. This allows for effectively 8 million (23 bits) of contrast levels
% for both the positive- and the negative "half-lobe" of the patch -- More
% than enough precision for any conceivable display system:
gabortex=Screen('MakeTexture', win, m, [], [], 2);

% Preallocate array with destination rectangles:
% This also defines initial gabor patch orientations, scales and location
% for the very first drawn stimulus frame:

% If internalRotation, we need to explicitely specify the size of a texture
% source rectangle 'srcRect', as it slightly deviates from the default
% size, which would be exactly the size of the texture itself. We also need
% to specify the optional 'sflags' parameter for 'DrawTextures' to tell the
% command it should use internal rotation:
if internalRotation
    sflags = kPsychUseTextureMatrixForRotation;
    srcRect = CenterRect([0 0 (2*si+1) (2*si+1)], Screen('Rect', gabortex));

    % orientations computed during last loop iteration: Here we fix
    % 'globalAlpha' - and therefore contrast - to 0.5, ie., 50% of
    % displayable range. Actually its less than 0.5, depending on the
    % inherent contrast of the gabor defined above in matrix 'm'.

    % Mark drawing ops as finished, so the GPU can do its drawing job while
    % we can compute updated parameters for next animation frame. This
    % command is not strictly needed, but it may give a slight additional
    % speedup, because the CPU can compute new stimulus parameters in
    % Matlab, while the GPU is drawing the stimuli for this frame.
    % Sometimes it helps more, sometimes less, or not at all, depending on
    % your system and code, but it only seldomly hurts.

    % Compute updated positions and orientations for next frame. This code

    % these few lines of Matlab code are the main speed-bottleneck for this
    % demos animation loop on modern graphics hardware, not the actual drawing
    % of the stimulus. The demo as written here is CPU bound - limited in
    % speed by the speed of your main processor.

    % Compute new random orientation for each patch in next frame:
    rotAngles = rotAngles + 1 * randn(1, ngabors);
    
    % Compute centers of all patches, then shift them in new direction of
    % motion 'rotAngles', use the mod() operator to make sure they don't
    % leave the window display area. Its important to use RectCenterd and
    % CenterRectOnPointd instead of RectCenter and CenterRectOnPoint,
    % because the latter ones would round all results to integral pixel
    % locations, which would make for an odd and jerky movement. It is
    % also important to feed all matrices and vectors in proper format, as
    % these routines are internally vectorized for higher speed.
